Welcome to Apple Support Communities

 

If you're using iCloud to back up your iPhone, the backup already includes all the photos taken with your iPhone.

 

Apart from that, iCloud Photo Library lets you save all your pictures on iCloud if it is enabled -> https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204264

    Thanks for the info But unfortunately I never set up my iCloud account. Does this mean

    I'll lose all my pictures? And my iPhone is disabled ( my daughter trying to get in after I

    changed the password) I'm just worried about my pictures, I have so many meaningful pics

    I'm so scared I'll lose them. I went to US Cell and they were kind of at a loss, didn't know what

    to do. They told me to call Apple and talk to them but I was hoping to find a solution here.

    I'm in quite a jam here :/ So I'll take all the help I can get! I've talked to several people about this

    and basically everyone tells me something different. I've heard that if I have an iTunes account

    set up that my pictures will automatically be saved. And I've also heard that there's nothing I

    can do and my pictures are gone. Thank you very much for responding and if you have any other

    thoughts or advice I'd really appreciate. Thanks so much.

    See -> If you forgot the passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support As you can see, if your iPhone is already disabled, there's nothing you can do apart from erasing everything and setting up iOS again.

     

    However, nothing is lost yet if you used to sync your iPhone with your PC or Mac through iTunes. If so, you may have a backup stored on your PC or Mac that you can restore and recover everything -> Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup - Apple Support. If this is not the case, I'm afraid you've lost everything . That's why it is so important to make backups.
